BERGER
HOLDINGS, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)



Note 1. Basis of Presentation:



The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim
financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for
complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.



The financial statements include the accounts of Berger
Holdings, Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Berger Financial Corp., Berger Bros Company, Copper Craft, Inc. and Walker Metal Products, Inc. (collectively, the Company). All inter-company transactions and balances have been
eliminated.



The Company manufactures and
distributes roof drainage systems for both residential and commercial roofs. The Companys roof drainage product line, consisting of gutters, downspouts, soffits, fascias, snow guards, trim coil, custom metal architectural pieces, and other
associated accessories and fittings, is manufactured by the Company at its facilities located in Pennsylvania, Texas and Georgia. The Company sells roof drainage and ancillary products to wholesale distributors who sell directly to roofers and
contractors for use in the repair and replacement of roof drainage systems in existing buildings or for use in new construction. The principal raw materials used in manufacturing the Companys roof drainage and ancillary products are aluminum,
steel and copper.



Note 2. New Accounting Pronouncements:



In November 2002, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5,
57 and 107 and a rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34. This Interpretation elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under guarantees issued. The Interpretation
also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of the Interpretation are applicable to guarantees
issued or modified after December 31, 2002 did not have any effect on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements. The disclosure requirements are effective for consolidated financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after
December 15, 2002. At March 31, 2003, the Company was not a guarantor under any arrangement that would require disclosure in the Notes to these Consolidated Financial Statements.



In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition
and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of Statement No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements. Certain of the disclosure
modifications are required for fiscal years and interim periods ending after December 15, 2002 and are included in these Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 3. Inventories:



Inventories are valued at the lower of cost
or market. Cost is determined using the weighted average method.



Components of inventories consist of the following:



|                            |  | March 31, 2003 |           | December 31, 2002

|Total inventories           |  | $              | 6,947,515 |

Note 4. Debt:



Effective June 13, 2002, the Company
replaced its credit facility from Fleet Bank, N.A., formerly Summit Bank, N.A., with a credit facility from Wachovia Bank, National Association. The working capital loan obtained from the bank provides $9,500,000 of financing for a three-year term,
with the borrowings bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.75 percent, not to exceed the banks prime rate. Interest is payable monthly. Borrowings under this working capital facility were $5,772,384 at March 31, 2003.



The Company also obtained a term loan from the bank, which
provided $2,400,000 of financing, with the borrowings bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.60 percent, not to exceed the banks prime rate. Monthly principal payments of approximately $29,000 are required. This term loan is due June 1, 2009. The
Company obtained a second term loan from the bank on August 19, 2002, which provided $2,400,000 of financing, with the borrowings bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.25 percent, not to exceed the banks prime rate. Monthly principal payments of
$100,000 are required. The second term loan was used to redeem $2,500,000 of the Companys 11% Subordinated Debenture. The second term loan is due August 1, 2004. The Company obtained a third term loan from the bank on January 31, 2003, which
provided $750,000 of financing, with borrowings bearing interest at LIBOR plus 3.00 percent, not to exceed the banks prime rate. The LIBOR on March 31, 2003 was 1.30%. Monthly payments of $125,000 beginning on September 1, 2004 and ending on
February 1, 2005 are required. The proceeds of the third term note were used to paydown one-half of the principal balance of $1,500,000 of the Companys 10% Subordinated Debenture, which was originally due on December 31, 2003. Total borrowings
under these three term loans were $4,592,857 at March 31, 2003.



Effective January 31, 2003, the maturity date for the $750,000 of remaining principal balance of the 10% Subordinated Debenture was extended to June 30, 2005 and the annual interest rate was increased to 12% for 2003, to 13% for
2004, and 14% for 2005.



All of the
Companys loans with the bank are subject to certain financial covenants, which are monitored on a quarterly basis. The working capital loan and term loans are secured by all of the Companys assets. On May 9, 2003, the Company and the
bank amended certain of these financial covenants. As of March 31, 2003, the Company met all of the financial covenants, as amended.



In addition to the above, at March 31, 2003, the Company had a mortgage loan of $2,372,079, capital leases of $864,285, and a note payable
of $800,000 from a prior acquisition.



Note 5. Treasury Stock:



In May 1999, the Company received approval
from its Board of Directors to begin an open market stock repurchase program under which the aggregate number of shares currently authorized for repurchase is 1,560,000. Of this amount, the Company has repurchased a total of 814,625 shares,
excluding the private purchase of 154,000

shares from various investors,
as of March 31, 2003. Repurchases may continue to be made from time to time through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions at the discretion of the Company. The amount and timing of the repurchases will depend on market
conditions and other factors. There were no purchases under this program during the three months ended March 31, 2003.



Note 6. Stock Options:



The Company applies the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, to account for its fixed-plan stock options. Under this method, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the
underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation
plans. As allowed by SFAS No. 123, as amended in SFAS No. 148, the Company has elected to continue to apply the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting described above, and has adopted only the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123.



Had compensation cost for the Companys
common stock options been determined based upon the fair value of the options at the date of grant, as prescribed under SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Companys net (loss)
income and (loss) earnings per share would have been the following pro forma amounts:

The fair value
of the options granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:



|                        |  | Quarter Ended March 31, |  
|----------------------- |  | ----------------------- | -

|Expected option life    |  | 10 years                |  



The as
reported diluted loss per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 excludes the impact of 2,725,125 stock options outstanding, as the impact of including such stock options would have been anti-dilutive.



Note 7. Income Taxes:



Consolidated income tax expense for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2003 results in an effective tax rate of 42%, while the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 results in an effective rate of 44%. The overall 2002 effective income tax rate was 43.0%, and the effective tax rate for 2003 reflects
an estimate of pretax income and non-deductible expenses.



ITEM 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation



Results of Operations



Sales for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003 (the Current Quarter) were $8,783,626, a decrease of 10.9%, or
$1,069,545, as compared to $9,853,171 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 (the Comparable Quarter). This decrease in sales is attributable to the extreme winter weather and increased competition.



Cost of sales was $7,735,124 in the Current Quarter as
compared to $8,059,416 in the Comparable Quarter. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales increased to 88.1% in the Current Quarter from 81.8% in the Comparable Quarter. This percentage increase is mainly attributable to increases in aluminum
and other raw material costs during the Current Quarter as compared to the Comparable Quarter, reductions in sales prices on certain products due to increased competition as referred to above and the Companys inability to absorb fixed
operating costs due to the lower sales attributable to the extreme winter.



Selling, administrative and general expenses were $1,323,319 in the Current Quarter as compared to $1,502,025 in the Comparable Quarter. As a percentage of net sales, selling, administrative and
general expenses decreased to 15.1% in the Current Quarter compared to 15.2% in the Comparable Quarter. This decrease in expenses is primarily the result of a reduction in payroll and other operational expenses.



Loss from operations in the Current Quarter was $274,817, a
decrease of $566,547, as compared to income from operations of $291,730 in the Comparable Quarter. This decrease in operating results during the Current

##### Table of Contents



Quarter is the result of the
decrease in sales referred to above, as well as increases in aluminum and other raw material costs and reductions in sales prices on certain products.



Interest expense for the Current Quarter was $199,287, a decrease of $99,065 or 33.2%, versus $298,352 for the Comparable Quarter. The
decrease in interest expense is due to reduced principal balances and reduced interest rates on new term loans that were used to pay down higher interest rate loans.



Income tax benefit for the Current Quarter was $196,869 versus income taxes of $475 for the Comparable
Quarter. This change is due to the reduced income from operations as described above and a reduction in the effective tax rate from 44.0% to 42.0% as described in Note 7 to the Companys consolidated financial statements.



During the Current Quarter, the Company reported a net loss of
$271,867, a decrease of $272,472, as compared to net income of $605 for the Comparable Quarter. This decrease in net income is a result of lower income from operations as described above, partially offset by reductions in interest expense and the
income tax benefit as described above.



Liquidity and Capital
Resources



At March 31, 2003, the Company
had long-term debt consisting of working capital loans of $5,772,384, term loans of $4,592,857, a Subordinated Debenture with a remaining principal balance of $750,000, a note payable of $800,000 from a prior acquisition, capital leases of $864,285
and a mortgage for $2,372,079, resulting in total debt outstanding of $15,151,605.



At March 31, 2003, working capital was $4,938,593, resulting in a current ratio of 1.7 to 1, as compared to working capital of $3,287,711 and a ratio of 1.4 to 1 at December 31, 2002. This change in
working capital is primarily the result of increases in accounts receivable and inventories due to the seasonality of the Companys business.



Current liabilities at March 31, 2003 totaled $7,039,043, consisting primarily of $4,899,660 in accounts payable and accrued expenses and
$2,139,383 in current maturities of long-term debt. At December 31, 2002, total current liabilities were $7,392,085, consisting primarily of $5,189,230 in accounts payable and accrued expenses and $2,202,855 in current maturities of long-term debt.
The decrease in current liabilities is primarily due to a reduction in accrued expenses, which have been paid down during the Current Quarter.



At March 31, 2003, the Company had shareholders equity of $13,992,287, as compared to $14,258,371 at December 31, 2002. This change
is primarily attributable to the Current Quarters net loss.



Net cash used in operating activities for the Current Quarter was $1,584,881, as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $1,041,544 in the Comparable Quarter. This decrease is primarily due to the Current
Quarters net loss and fluctuations in accounts receivable and accounts payable.



Net cash used in investing activities was $270,055 in the Current Quarter, as compared to $192,392 net cash used in the Comparable Quarter. Net cash used in investing activities in both the Current and
Comparable Quarters was used to upgrade facilities and purchase new equipment.



Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $1,693,518 in the Current Quarter, as compared to $1,153,513 net cash used in the Comparable Quarter. This change is primarily due to cash received
from the working capital line during the Current Quarter to fund operations. Net cash used in financing activities during the Comparable Quarter was used to pay down debt and purchase Common Stock.

The
Companys management believes that cash flows from operations and available sources of financing are adequate for the Companys anticipated financing needs in the near term. As described in Note 4 to the Companys consolidated
financial statements, the Company obtained a new credit facility on June 13, 2002 from Wachovia Bank, National Association. The cost and terms of any future financing arrangements will depend on market conditions and the Companys financial
position at that time.



New Accounting Pronouncements



In November 2002, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5,
57 and 107 and a rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34. This Interpretation elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under guarantees issued. The Interpretation
also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of the Interpretation are applicable to guarantees
issued or modified after December 31, 2002 did not have any effect on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements. The disclosure requirements are effective for consolidated financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after
December 15, 2002. At March 31, 2003, the Company was not a guarantor under any arrangement that would require disclosure in the notes to the Companys consolidated financial statements.



In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148,
Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of
transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of Statement No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and
interim financial statements. Certain of the disclosure modifications are required for fiscal years and interim periods ending after December 15, 2002 and are included in these notes to the Companys consolidated financial statements.
